About Hollow Valley Residentieel Interieurontwerp

Hollow Valley is een residentieel interieurontwerp voor een gezin van zes in Wenzhou, Zhejiang. De woning beslaat 900 vierkante meter en is zo ingedeeld dat de levensstijlen van twee generaties in balans zijn. De oorspronkelijke gebouwstructuur werd opgedeeld en gereorganiseerd in geometrische blokken, waardoor kruisende looproutes ontstaan. Een gedeconstrueerde trap met verspringende treden brengt licht tussen de verdiepingen. De eet- en keukenzones worden gescheiden door een langgerekt centraal eiland dat opbergruimte biedt en fungeert als ontmoetingspunt. Het eiland geleidt bovendien de beweging door de ruimte als een corridor.

Unique Properties
Located in Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province, with a floor area of 900 square meters, this case is dedicated to reconstructing the parallel space of a family of six in a common residence, balancing the lifestyles of two generations, and creating a livable living place. The original structure of the building is cut and reorganized by geometric blocks to form crisscrossing paths, alluding to the dialectical relationship of "existence and non-existence" in oriental space philosophy.

Production Technology
Through the three-dimensional grid weaving of light and shadow, the spatial entity gradually fades into a flowing light container. The staircase installation uses a deconstructionist approach to reshape the vertical dynamic line, and the misplaced treads form a carrier for the light track, so that the light and shadow scenes of alternating day and night can freely diffuse between the floors.
Design Challenge
The original structure of the building is cut and reorganized by geometrical blocks to form crisscross paths, which is in line with the dialectical relationship of "existence and non-existence" in oriental space philosophy. The agreement of materials makes the whole space more gentle and harmonious, and the concept of indoor-outdoor communication makes the whole space brighter and freer.
Research
The first physical dimension balances the parallax through geometric cutting, the second optical dimension relies on the window system to guide the space-time narrative, and the third spiritual dimension creates an empty and silent mood through the collision of white space and texture. Ultimately, it realizes the borderless state of "living in it without servitude to things", so that intergenerational differences can be naturally bridged between the flow of light and shadow.
Inspiration
This case is a friend's house, which needs to be designed to dissolve the boundary between the lives of two generations as the core demand, and explore the multi-dimensional symbiosis system in the context of contemporary wabi-sabi aesthetics by reconstructing the parallel spatial sequence.
Project Duration
2021.12 Wenzhou, Zhejiang - 2023.05 Wenzhou, Zhejiang
Operation Flow
The dining and kitchen areas were designed separately with an elongated central island, which serves as a gathering spot with storage capabilities. The structure of the island integrates seamlessly with the rear elevation from a horizontal view angle, which also works as a corridor guiding the flow spatially.
